Circus and Carnival and Park

We had a fun filled week a few weeks ago. 1st Ryker and I went with Jessica, Kyler and Kason to the Piccadilly Circus. Frankly it was really lame and only had a few animals but Ryker seemed to think it was cool for a little bit.

Then we went to my old schools carnival. They had a train ride and games for the kids to play. I was fun to see some of my old students and Ryker had a good time.

The weather has been wonderful the past few weeks, I love it. We took advantage of this one morning and walked to the park by our house. I was going to read while Ryker played on the play ground but I had to much fun watching him. He would go down the slide and then run and do it again.

3 Months

Ah I have been lazy, so I am late writing about the twins being 3 months. So here is an update with some pictures. Haven't been to the doctor so I don't know how much they weigh and all that jazz, we will find out next month at their check up. Fun and exciting facts include Sophie loves to smile and to talk, Beckett is a little more sour but will smile. Sophie does not like to be naked or to have a messy diaper. Beckett loves the bath and pees quit frequently when put in water (ask Cindy :)) They wake up two times a night. They both are very good at following people with there eyes. They love to be held in the evenings and to snuggle in the morning. We still have good days and bad days, but I think I'll keep them around.

Island Park

We went for a family get together in Island Park Idaho last week. It was a lot of fun. My dad rented a cabin, it was beautiful. We got up there late Friday night, Cindy and Jessica's families were already up there. Brad's dad came up with his little bother as well. Brad spent the first few days fishing with his dad so we didn't see much of him until Monday. On Sunday afternoon everyone went to raft down the river. I stayed back with the twins. On Monday we drove up to Yellowstone. It was a lot of time in the car :( The twins did a pretty good job. On Tuesday we celebrated Brad's Birthday. Wednesday we went to Big Springs and then Brad went home. On Thursday it was back up to Yellowstone. On Friday we came home. It was fun being around my family, it was also really nice to have lots of help with the twins and Ryker. Here are lots of pictures...

State Fair

It has become a tradition to go to the Utah State Fair. I was hesitant to go this year, it is a process to go anywhere with the twins. They also don't like the car very much. However, we went with my family and Mike and Lindsay and had a lot of fun.

We started at the little farm, Ryker had so much fun. It is a little "farm" that the kids have to work on and they go through the process of planting, and farming. Then the kids can get a treat when they are finished.

Then we ate dinner and it was off to see the animals. My dad had the boys ride the horses, Ryker didn't want to get off.

They must have seen Ryker's short legs, so they gave him the short, stumpy horse.
